Frosted Flake posted:Don’t the Scandinavians also hate the Sami? I think they had residential schools and everything. Obviously that’s really informed a lot of the experience with oppression Amber brought to Chapo. well sort of i can only speak for norway, but here the eugenicist project was mostly directed at travellers (the aforementioned "tater" populations). you have to remember that most of sápmi is to this day very inhospitable to sedentiary lifestyles, and that state control was correspondingly weak until about the 19th century - settlement of ethnic norwegians was limited mostly to the coastal areas, and public institutions under danish rule were basically limited to military and church (sápmi was the extreme periphery of the periphery of the danish crown holdings). there was a clear anti-sami religious policy, and heavy efforts were made to convert them to lutheran christianity. unfortunately for the norwegian state, this extended to the very strong and vital norwegian lay tradition, which understandably made serious forays into the marginalised sami population and which occasionally turned really violent, especially related to accusations of witchcraft etc. i do not know of any real policy of residential schools along the canadian model - the residential sami schools were initially the ones where you could get a mostly sami-language education, for one thing. from the introduction of universal public schooling in norway, public schools in sápmi were formally integrated (though of course here education was mostly/only in norwegian). as far as i can tell there was a question around the start of the 19th century about whether to send teachers along with the sami travelling populations or to do something along a residential model, and they settled on the residential model. nobody's dug up any corpses yet, though conditions weren't great. as education got modernised and the state grew stronger, norwegianisation became more of a priority, and sami-language education was phased out until fairly recently. i don't know the status of education in sápmi right now, but official policy is that you have the right to education in the few surviving sami languages. there's been lots of pretty ugly politics about this - the largely orthodox skolte-sami populations have been more marginalised than the lay protestant groups, for instance, but this is venturing into a complicated and difficult history which i don't know that much about. the cornerstones of traditional sami economy - reindeer herding and fishing/coastal farming - are still relevant to this day, to large extent because there really isn't that much else you can *do* with this land. since the seventies - when norway, incidentally, had possibly the strongest maoist movement in europe - the position of the sami has improved by quite a lot, including the introduction of special economic and language rights as well as various subsidies. this has in itself given rise to a fair amount of tension and anti-sami racism remains a widespread phenomenon, especially among the "germanics" of the north, but it's not as violent as a lot of the racism against immigrant groups, and the state really does have an official and pretty serious anti-racist policy on the issue.

Yuri Gazmanov had a concert scheduled in Izyum for September 11. Ukrainian forces entered the city on September 10, so the concert got cancelled. He had a concert scheduled in Kherson for November 13. Ukrainian forces entered the city on November 11, so that concert got cancelled as well. He has yet another concert scheduled in Moscow for December 13. Just saying.

A Wagner group telegram channel posted a video of a former member who had previously surrendered to Ukraine (and made a video denouncing them) being murdered by being hit in the head with a sledgehammer. There have been leaked videos of them committing similar warcrimes in Syria before but this is clearly a planned media release.Moscow calling posted:The founder of the PMC "Wagner" Prigozhin commented on the execution of the PMC fighter Evgeny Nuzhin, accused of treason and killed by a hammer. Анатолий Несмиян posted:A recording of the alleged execution of allegedly former Wagner fighter Nuzhin appeared on the network. Allegedly he defected, but was found and brought to the place of execution. He was beaten with a sledgehammer. We can recall a video from Syria, where a Syrian deserter from the Syrian mercenary group (according to other reports - from the Syrian army) was killed in the same way, then his body was beheaded, crucified and burned. All the people involved in that story have long been identified and have not been punished.  If you click this link you will see a still image from before he is killed.

speng31b posted:lol, ok If the Russians are not willing to fight for it, a large Ukrainian force will get shelled approaching the terrain, shelled probing it, shelled finding a flank held by mailmen or something, and then eventually be allowed in to save lives. Not in one bound, there are lots of pieces of terrain along the way where Ukraine will be bogged down, shelled and then slowly close up, so it could be months or years, but as long as Ukraine is willing to stomach appalling casualties and Europe and the US provide unlimited free equipment and bankroll the state, there’s no way to really change that within the confines Russia has created for herself. I don’t think the Russian public is demoralized because as Ardennes did a great job pointing out the whole war (or rather, “not-war”) is constructed around them being tuned out. e: great posts about Norway and Ireland, thank you. I had no idea about these events. ee: and as much as Ukraine is doing who knows what, Russia has a moral obligations to its citizens that it reneged apparently because it’s too much trouble.

I don't know how much support Ukraine can expect from Europe at this point. A hypothetical I've been thinking about: What if the Russians fall back to antebellum positions then reinvade again in the spring? Is the response from the Europeans as dramatic? Do they get the same amount of support from the Americans and British even? Is the Ukrainian military being built up fast enough to make up for this years losses?

Zelensky's said that Russia destroyed a lot of critical civilian infrastructure on their way out, so evacuating may not be a choice if that's true.

Lostconfused posted:Less innocent people getting caught up in this mess seems good to me yeah the only thing that's silly about it is when Russia was telling all the civilians to evacuate, Ukraine was telling them not to and accusing Russia of mass deportations because of the evac notices. Strongly implying any civilian who evacuated under Russian control was a collaborator and would be treated accordingly. so when Russia does it it's a warcrime and no "true Ukrainian" would obey, but when Ukraine does it, they're surely just concerned for civilian well-being speng31b has issued a correction as of 21:18 on Nov 13, 2022 |

No side benefits from a Mariupol 2, electric boogaloo.

Doktor Avalanche posted:this seems like it would be a widespread problem, is there any example of a modern society which has a place for nomads? Not really, and that's a problem with modern societies. Nomadic people can't be easily taxed or conscripted, which why every Western country engaged in genocide against their local nomads. I think there might be some North African countries that have special protections for the desert nomads.

Southpaugh posted:So Ireland didn't really industrialise in the typical european fashion, it industrialised as a colony, unlike our neighbours which were all nation states. So Industrialisation took place in Dublin, Belfast and Cork. All coastal port towns, Belfast had harland and Wolfe and the linen industry, Dublin mostly did food processing on an industrial scale, biscuits, glass bottles that sort of thing. There were steel works but it was on a more artisan scale. You'll still see the odd steel plate on the streets that was cast in a Dublin foundry before my parents were born. Theres no coal or steel in Ireland, so heavy industry was never really an option outside of Dublin and Belfast. You can bring materials into the port for production and manufacturing but otherwise they have to take a train somewhere so all those industries were centred in the port cities because the manufactured goods were for export.

I think also agricultural workers frequently move a lot for work but that is different from traditional nomadism. e: This claims 1/4 of people in Mongolia live a nomadic lifestyle. https://blogs.worldbank.org/opendata/counting-uncounted-how-mongolian-nomadic-survey-leaving-no-one-behind Weka has issued a correction as of 23:12 on Nov 13, 2022 |
